The present application provides a display panel 100.

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 3, in the embodiments of the present application, the display panel 100 includes:

a color filter substrate 10;

an array substrate 20 opposite to the color filter substrate 10 and provided with a plurality of pixel areas 21 at intervals, each of the plurality of pixel areas 21 including a signal line 211 and a light-emitting diode 212 electrically connected with the signal line 211;

a liquid crystal layer 30 located between the array substrate 20 and the color filter substrate 10;

a common electrode 40 located on a surface of the color filter substrate 10 facing the liquid crystal layer 30; and

a plurality of compensation electrodes 50 arranged at intervals and located on a surface of the array substrate 20 facing the liquid crystal layer 30, the common electrode 40 being opposite to the plurality of compensation electrodes 50, and the plurality of compensation electrodes 212 corresponding to the plurality of light-emitting diodes 50 one by one.

Specifically, the array substrate 20 is a transparent substrate, such as a glass substrate, a quartz substrate, etc. The array substrate 20 includes a plurality of pixel areas 21 arranged in an array. Signal lines 211 are insulated from each other and intersect to define the plurality of pixel areas 21. The signal lines 211 include horizontal signal lines and vertical signal lines perpendicular to the horizontal signal lines, and two adjacent horizontal signal lines 211 and two adjacent vertical signal lines 211 enclose a pixel area 21.

The signal lines 211 are made of conductive material, such as aluminum alloy, chromium, etc. The light emitting diode 212 is provided in one of the pixel areas 21 and is electrically connected with one of the horizontal signal lines and one of the vertical signal lines. The common electrode 40 is located on the surface of the color filter substrate 10 facing the liquid crystal layer 30. The common electrode 40 is opposite to the plurality of compensation electrodes 50. One compensation electrode 50 corresponds to one light emitting diode 212. When the display panel 100 displays normally, there is no need to apply a voltage across the common electrode 40 and the compensation electrodes 50, liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal layer 30 do not deflect and produce no prism effect. When a common voltage is applied across the common electrode 40 and the compensation electrodes 50, and a high voltage is applied to an adjacent compensation electrode 50, the liquid crystals without being applied with a high voltage are deflected and have a lower refractive index, and the liquid crystal molecules applied with the high voltage have a higher refractive index, the optical effect produced can be equivalent to a thin prism. When passing through the thin prism, the light will deflect to one side to achieve the light deflection. It should be noted that only half of the light (that is, extraordinary light) will deflect (that is, changes its direction), and the other half of the light (ordinary light) will not change its direction.

The display panel 100 of the present application includes: a color filter substrate 10, an array substrate 20, a liquid crystal layer 30, a common electrode 40 and a plurality of compensation electrode 50. The array substrate 20 is opposite to the color filter substrate 10. The array substrate 20 is provided with a plurality of pixel areas 21 at internals. Each of the plurality of pixel areas 21 is provided with a signal line 211 and a light-emitting diode 212 electrically connected with the signal line 211. The liquid crystal layer 30 is located between the array substrate 20 and the color filter substrate 10. The common electrode 40 is located on a surface of the array substrate 20 facing the liquid crystal layer 30. The plurality of compensation electrodes 50 are arranged at internals and located on a surface of the color filter substrate 10 facing the liquid crystal layer 30. The common electrode 40 is opposite to the plurality of compensation electrodes 50. One compensation electrode 50 corresponds to one light-emitting diode 212. When a light-emitting diode 212 is abnormal, a deflection direction of liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal layer 30 is adjusted through a corresponding compensation electrode 50, thereby controlling a direction of the light, so as to solve the technical problem of dishomogeneous brightness of the display panel caused by the abnormal light-emitting diode 212. The present application adjusts the deflection direction of the liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal layer 30 through the compensation electrodes 50, thereby controlling a direction of the light. For there is no need to set a spare light-emitting diode 212 in a pixel area 21 to solve the technical problem of the dishomogeneous brightness of the display panel 100 caused by abnormal light-emitting diodes 212, the number of light-emitting diodes 212 and production costs are reduced.

Further, in order to avoid affecting a display effect of the display panel, the compensation electrodes 50 are located above the signal lines 211. Each of the compensation electrode 50 is strip-shaped and an extension direction of the compensation electrode 50 is same as an extension direction of the signal lines 211. For example, if the compensation electrodes 50 are arranged above the vertical signal lines, the extension direction of the compensation electrodes 50 are consistent with a vertical direction.

Further, the common electrode 40 is a transparent electrode, and the compensation electrodes 50 are conductive electrodes.

In this embodiment, the common electrode 40 is a transparent electrode made from at least one of an indium tin oxide (ITO), indium zinc oxide (IZO), zinc oxide (ZnO), indium oxide (In2O3), indium gallium oxide (IGO) and aluminum zinc oxide (AZO). The compensation electrodes 50 are conductive electrodes, for example they can be metal, metal oxide or organic conductive layers. The purpose of the present application is to control deflection directions of liquid crystal molecules through the common electrode 40 and the compensation electrodes 50. Generally, the common electrode 40 and the compensation electrodes 50 are connected with their corresponding substrates by floating connection.

Please refer to FIG. 2, the display panel 100 further includes a repairing line 60. When at least one of the light-emitting diodes 212 is abnormal, the repairing line 60 is for connecting a compensation electrode 50 corresponding to the abnormal light-emitting diode 212 with a corresponding signal line 211.

In this embodiment, an abnormality of a light-emitting diode 212 may be that the light-emitting diode 212 is damaged or a circuit connected thereto is abnormal, resulting that the light-emitting diode 212 does not emit light. The repairing line 60 is a laser-repairing line. When at least one of the light-emitting diodes 212 is abnormal, the repairing line 60 electrically connects the compensation electrode 50 corresponding to the light-emitting diode 212 with the corresponding signal line 211. A voltage is applied across the compensation electrode 50 and the common electrode 40 to control a deflection direction of the liquid crystal molecules, thereby controlling the direction of light.

Further, due to light of a normal light-emitting diode 212 is more bright, in order to deflect light of a normal light-emitting diode 212 to an adjacent abnormal light-emitting diode 212 and make the liquid crystal molecules deflect, a voltage applied to a compensation electrode corresponding to the abnormal light-emitting diode is U1, and a voltage applied to a compensation electrode adjacent to the abnormal light-emitting diode is U2, where U2>U1.

The present application also provides a repairing method of display panel, applied on the display panel 100. The specific structure of the display panel 100 refers to the above-mentioned embodiments. Due to the repairing method of the display panel adopts all the technical solutions of the above-mentioned embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above-mentioned embodiments, which won't be repeated here.

Please refer to FIG. 4, the repairing method of display panel adopts steps as below:

S10, providing a color filter substrate 10 and an array substrate 20 opposite to the color filter substrate 10, the array substrate 20 being provided with a plurality of pixel areas 21 at intervals, and each of the plurality of pixel areas 21 being provided with a signal line 211 and a light-emitting diode 212 electrically connected with the signal line 211;

S20, providing a liquid crystal layer 30 to be located between the array substrate 20 and the color filter substrate 10;

S30, providing a common electrode 40 to be located on a surface of the color filter substrate 10 facing the liquid crystal layer 30;

S40, providing a plurality of compensation electrodes 50 to be arranged at intervals and located on a surface of the array substrate 20 facing the liquid crystal layer 30, the common electrode 40 being opposite to the plurality of compensation electrodes 50, and the plurality of compensation electrodes 212 corresponding to the plurality of light-emitting diodes 50 one by one;

S50, performing a detection process to determine whether at least one light-emitting diode 212 is abnormal; and

S60, performing a repairing process to connect the compensation electrodes that corresponds to an abnormal light-emitting diode with a corresponding signal line when the abnormal light-emitting diodes is detected.

In this embodiment, there are two light-emitting diodes 212, one is P1 and the other is P2. When the light-emitting diodes 212 are normal, the display panel 100 operates normally according to the structure shown in FIG. 1. The detection process may include at least one of an electrical detection process or an optical detection process. The optical detection process adopts a light source to generate an excitation light to induce the light-emitting diode 212 to emit fluorescence, and adopts a scan camera to detect a situation of the fluorescence emitted by the diode 212 at a specific wavelength, thereby determining whether the light-emitting diode 212 is damaged. The electrical detection process adopts a probe to give a signal required by the light-emitting diode 212 to the light-emitting diode 212, thereby determining whether the light-emitting diode 212 operates normally. For example, if the detection result shows that the light-emitting diodes 212 of all pixel areas 21 are normal, there is no need to perform the repairing process. If the detection result shows that the light-emitting diode 212 of a certain pixel area 21 is malfunction, it is determined that the light emitting diode 212 is abnormal.

When a certain light-emitting diode 212 such as light-emitting diode P2 is abnormal, a repairing process is performed. A compensation electrode 50 corresponding to the abnormal light-emitting diode P2 is connected with the corresponding signal line 211, so that a high voltage is applied to a compensation electrode 50 corresponding to the light-emitting diode P1, and a low voltage is applied to the compensation electrode 50 corresponding to the light-emitting diode P2, a uneven electric field is formed, resulting that some liquid crystal molecules deflect. As shown in FIG. 3, the light-emitting diode P1 is normal, at this time, the light emitted by the light-emitting diode P1 will be deflected correspondingly according to the deflection of the liquid crystal molecules, thereby a part of the light will be shared to the abnormal light-emitting diode P2, so that there is no obvious dark spot and the problem of the related art is avoided.

Please refer to FIG. 5, before performing the detection process, the method further includes the following steps:

S70, putting the compensation electrodes 50 above signal lines 211. The compensation electrodes 50 are put above the signal lines 211 through floating connection to avoid affecting the display effect.

Further, the repairing process further includes:

applying a voltage U1 to a compensation electrode 50 corresponding to the abnormal light-emitting diode 212, and applying a voltage U2 to a compensation electrode 50 adjacent to the abnormal light-emitting diode 212, where U2>U1.

Please refer to FIG. 6, before performing the repairing process, the method further includes the following steps:

S80, providing a repairing line 60 for connecting a compensation electrode 50 corresponding to an abnormal light-emitting diode 212 with the corresponding signal line 211 when at least one of the light-emitting diodes 212 is abnormal.

In this embodiment, there are two light-emitting diodes 212, one is P1 and the other is P2. When the light-emitting diodes 212 are normal, the display panel 100 operates normally according to the structure shown in FIG. 1. When a certain light-emitting diode 212 such as P2 is normal, the repairing line 60 which is a laser-repairing line connects a compensation electrode 50 corresponding to the light-emitting diode P1 with the signal line 211, so that a high voltage is applied to the compensation electrode 50 corresponding to the light-emitting diode P1, and a low voltage is applied to the compensation electrode 50 corresponding to the light-emitting diode P2, thereby forming a high and low uneven electric field, resulting that some liquid crystal molecules deflect. As shown in FIG. 3, the light-emitting diode P1 is normal, at this time, the light emitted by the light-emitting diode P1 will be deflected correspondingly according to the deflection of the liquid crystal molecules, thereby a part of the light will be shared to the abnormal light-emitting diode P2, so that the dark spot is not obvious, thereby solving the problem of the prior art.
